About Juliet Jacka
Juliet Jacka (Author) started writing junior fiction stories when she was on maternity leave with her first daughter (who was luckily a good sleeper). Juliet's first book Night of the Perigee Moon won the 2013 Tom Fitzgibbon Storylines Award and was published in 2014 by Scholastic. Her story The Keeper of Spirit Hill was shortlisted in Tom Fitzgibbon competitions in 2011 and 2013.

Juliet juggles writing with family life and her work, which involves doing inscrutable digital stuff with websites.
